One-on-one talk therapy can help a person cope with feelings of unhappiness, sadness, or depression, anxiety/fear, and anger that may stem from traumatic experiences, life passages (e.g., separation/divorce, career change), adjustment difficulties (e.g., illness/disability, grief or loss, sexuality issues, relationship problems, or struggles with self-confidence and self-esteem. Psychological treatment can also help an individual develop skills to deal with physical health concerns such as chronic pain and insomnia and better manage the effects of stress in daily life.

A person may also choose to engage in psychotherapy to augment his or her personal growth. By gaining a deeper understanding of ourselves, learning to harness our inner psychological resources, and working through possible underlying issues that keep us “stuck”, we can increase our sense of psychological wholeness and well-being and become more capable of realizing our personal life goals.
